cjdawson Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Getting back to the parts list. There's a couple of things that I left out... Here's the ammeter and volt meter that I have on the side (This is the one that I'd move to the front) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300V-50A-DC-Car-Dual-Voltmeter-Ammeter-LED-Display-Amp-Volt-Meter-12V-Shunt-TE72-/272204962672?hash=item3f60ae1b70:g:tpwAAOSwH6lXQqtx The thing to double check is that both parts of the display are red. This is the battery meter that I added http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12V-Lead-Acid-Battery-Status-Indicator-Capacity-Dual-LED-Display-Tester-Meter-SP/201678266003?_trksid=p2045573.c100505.m3226&_trkparms=aid%3D555014%26algo%3DPL.DEFAULT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D38661%26meid%3D40aca14a11e54af081009cdd36e893b3%26pid%3D100505%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26 And finally, you'll need 3 single pole single throw switches. As for the cable itself. I used something like this. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/6mm-Thinwall-Tinned-Cable-50-Amp-84-0-30-Auto-Marine-All-Lengths-and-Colours-/321407195097?var=510281976837&hash=item4ad55c97d9:m:mi2LeeEkP7B0ukaru2D0cCQ I got 10 meters of Red and 10 meters of black. There was some left over, but you'd be surprised how much you go through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take the lid off the box when charging. This allows the gas to escape. Also, where I've cut holes. I didn't make them water tight, so there will be some air leakage - not much though. Gas build up could be a concert if I didn't take the lid off when charging. Would be nice to be able to connect a vent on the battery to a pipe that went out of the box. However my battery has no such device on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjdawson Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Send me a PM if and when you are ready to do it. Parts gathering took me a while. But if you skip out on the jump start poles that I put in (which really are overkill) should be much easier to source all the bits that you need.
